  <title>Turn on bounce keys</title>

  <p>
    Turn on <em>bounce keys</em> to ignore key presses that are rapidly 
    repeated. For example, if you have hand tremors which cause you to press a 
    key multiple times when you only want to press it once, you should turn on 
    bounce keys.
  </p>

  <steps>
    <item>
      <p>
        Click the icon at the very right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and 
        select <gui>System Settings</gui>.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        Open <gui>Universal Access</gui> and select the <gui>Typing</gui> 
        tab.
      </p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>
        Switch <gui>Bounce Keys</gui> on.
      </p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>
    Use the <gui>Acceptance delay</gui> slider to change how long bounce keys 
    waits before it registers another key press after you pressed the key for 
    the first time. Select <gui>Beep when a key is rejected</gui> if you want 
    the computer to make a sound each time it ignores a key press because it 
    happened too soon after the previous key press.
